Makeup Primer – The use of a good Primer definitely keeps the finished makeup application in place for much longer. Primer should be applied between the moisturizer and foundation stages of your makeover. Primers come in a gel form and are best applied using just the fingers. Most gurls apply primer to the whole face but at the very least it should be applied to those areas where the makeup comes off most easily: chin, nose, eyelids, and lips. Be sure to allow time for the primer to ‘rest’ for a few minutes prior to foundation application so that it is absorbed into the skin.
